Had someone come along with an Air Jordan VI ‘Leopard’ custom just a few short months back, they would have probably looked something a bit closer to the trend that’s sweeping the casual sneaker scene, perhaps crafted from horsehair or somesuch other furry material for good measure.  But take into account the current popularity of color-swap customs and the almost alien good looks of the Kobe VII System ‘Christmas’ , and you end up with a ZK7-inspired AJ6 that captures the wild colorway and detailing, but one that offers the luxury of a leather upper that offers a nice foil against the Kobe 7′s techy build

The hottest trend in customs at the moment by a wide margin is the reappropriation of classic colorways on new models.  To be fair, companies like Nike Sportswear have been doing this for ages, but there’s no denying that in recent weeks we’ve seen a ton of color swaps in the Sneaker News ‘Customs’ category.  And for whatever reason, one of the most popular models to get the makeover touch is the Air Jordan VI Retro .  The AJ6 is a classic in its own right, the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he won his first championship and a design so distinctive that Supra practically owes royalties for the Skytop II.  The Air Jordan 6 takes a backseat to no sneaker, so when it’s combined with the ‘Cool Grey’ Air Jordan XI look , you’ve got a bonafide burner.  MizzeeCustoms ‘ latest work might not be his most intricate in terms of colorblocking, but he went so far as to use a glossy paint to mimick the AJXI’s patent leather, which pushes this one over the top.  Click through to see more and let us know how these compare to all the other colorway homage custom sneakers we’ve seen of late.

The Air Jordan 60+ was introduced in 2009 as a multi-Air Jordan hybrid that paid tribute to Michael 60+ point performances. Jordan Brand also followed that up with the Air Jordan VII Defining Moments Package, a set of two Air Jordan VII colorways that also represented Michael’s 60+ point outing against Orlando in January of ’93. Here’s a look at an unreleased sample colorway of the Air Jordan 60+ in the ‘Hare’ colorway; it features the two-toned upper of white and soft beige with the red/white/green tongue seen on the Hare VII.
